Passionate Collaboration? Taking the Pulse of the UK Environmental Sector

The report summarises the findings from the first ever survey of chief executives of UK non-profit environmental groups. 140 chief executives responded to the survey, with many of the UK’s leading environmental groups involved. Highlights include:

* analysis of how income levels and income sources for the sector have changed in recent years

* the advantages of philanthropic capital relative to other sources of income for environmental work

* data on how environment group expenditure breaks down by geography, thematic issue, and approach, along with perspectives on the skill-sets and approaches most in need of additional resources

* a ranking of the UK environment groups that achieve the most relative to their resources, as seen by their peers, and by foundations funding the sector

* analysis of the strengths of the environment sector, and of the opportunities and challenges that it faces over the next three to five years

* perspectives on contentious issues including funding from corporations, direct action, and the challenge of redefining economic growth
